From the BBC Website:

>O2 UK data network suffers outage  

Not here it didn't.
 
>The data network gets huge traffic due to iPhone usage 

What the heck has the i-phone got to do with it ?
It's a crap phone and besides if you have any sense you'd get a 
Nokia E90 instead. It's for men - not girlies.

>Network operator O2's data network has experienced an outage 
>across the UK.

>Internet and multimedia message services have been disrupted 
>for all of the firm's >customers who are on monthly contracts.

>O2 is not releasing the cause of the outage but says that its 
>engineers are aware of the cause of the problem and are working
> to correct it. 

Two weeks ago my company landlines suffered crossed lines and frequent
